Try this:
traceroute ntp.<yourisp>
I was pleasantly surprised to find that my ISP has one at ntp.cox.net.
P.S. - "mtr" is much better than traceroute.

Description: Full screen ncurses and X11 traceroute tool
mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs
in a single network diagnostic tool.
.
As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host
mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it
determines the address of each network hop between the machines,
it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the
quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints
running statistics about each machine.
